and melted attacks upon him. Witness
was candidate ON the Republican
ticket for county judge against Kirk
Democrat). The latter was elected, and
is counsel for the citizensin the pending
investigation. The witness was permitted
TO read circular which he wrote and
circulated in the name of the Republi-
can Executive Committee Just prior TO
the last election. The circular was very
yituperative. Witness testified that
the Democratic county officials had
not made any efforts to apprehend the
perpetrators Of any Of the outrages on
the ballot-bOx. The "crime" witness
committed subsequent to the election)
was to denounce in his paper the raids
on the ballot-boxes He was permitted
TO read some of the editorials written
by himself and published in his
paper He said he did not receive
any written notice to leave, nor did
anybody verbally order him TO leave,
but lie made up his mind that it was
not safe for him TO remain there. Mr.
Bryan, Democratic lawyer, offered to
buy out witnesses paper, saying that he
wanted to get rid of it: witness did not
know whether or not Bryan was men,
Der of the Democratic Committee.
Witness went to Galveston, but re-
turned to BRENNAN to attend to some
business, and left again, and as the
train moved off several shots were fired
at it and stone was thrown into it.
On cross-examination the witness
said that when he left Galveston, I'M
derstsnding that men were after him to
murder him, he sold his paper Ito his
creditors) for 800 10 enable him to get
away. When witness left Galveston he
did not see any pistols fired !; twas
dark; was sure the reports were not
made by firecrackers (; never heard who
fired the pistols or threw the stone
| through the car-window. Witness be-
gan his published attacks on the Demo
Gratis in February and March, 1885 !;
was not molested until December, 1886.
Witness said he was the most inhuen-
tial Republican leader among the Ger
mans, and the Democrats wanted to get
him away because Of that.
| Witness didn't like to say anything
against the national Administration,
but the reason why the present condf-
ton of things didn't exist previously
was because the marshals and officers
were Republicans, and the Irregular
ties were vigorously prosecuted: To
day if Republican was killed in Wash
ington comfy the guilty men were not
punished.
Stephen A. Hackworth, another OF
the memorialists, was next examined.
He testified that he is native of
Washington county and is Republi-
can. He testified that he, Schultz,
and Moore were the three most promi-
nent and active Republicans in the
county. The witness went over the &C
counts of the raiding Of the ballot
boxes from hearsay had heard OF nc
attempt to arrest the perpetrators. He
charged Judge Kirk with organizing
the kukluIes," as he called them
The testimony went over substantially
the same ground that was covered by
former witnesses.
